Six combined innings of one-run ball for two-fifthes of the Rockies rotation. Each struck out two. The only blemish was a home run allowd by Hammel to San Diego's Chase Headley. Hammel made up for that at the plate by delivering two perfect sacrifice bunts in two ABs. That gets bonus points from me. He also picked off Tony Gwynn Jr.

Miguel Olivo

I think we're going to like this guy. The average probably won't top .250, but the power is no joke at all. Kevin Correia can attest to that. Olivo took him 400+ feet out to left, and then followed up with an RBI double and a single. A perfect day at the plate and he should get a little credit as well for handling the pitchers. Not bad for the backup.
